Alambic Damm

Alambic Damm is a sculpture in the Sagrada Família district that brings contemporary art into this residential neighborhood. The work interacts with the surrounding architecture and the public pathways used by people moving through the area.

The sculpture was installed as part of a municipal initiative to enrich public spaces with art. This addition followed Barcelona's broader urban renewal efforts in the late 1900s.

This public sculpture demonstrates how Barcelona invites artists to shape community spaces and shows contemporary works alongside historic surroundings. The piece integrates into the neighborhood and becomes part of how people move through and perceive this part of the city.

The sculpture sits in a residential neighborhood and is easily reached by foot while exploring the Sagrada Família area. Bus routes and metro stations nearby make it simple to reach this location and spend time in the surroundings.

The work takes its name from an old industrial product, reflecting Barcelona's history as a manufacturing center. This connection to the city's past appears in the artistic naming choice and adds depth to understanding local development.
